A UNIQUE FAT FOCUSED FORMULATION

Why add more fat and not increase protein for a premium milk replacer? Research has shown that there is a ceiling limit on the efficiency of protein utilization in calves. This begins around five to six weeks of age.

Protein is still essential to meet requirements (22% or more) for proper development and early nutritional programming. The level of protein provided by Achieve™ surpasses daily requirements and provides additional protein for lean growth at a balanced level to preserve feed efficiency and utilization.

The increased fat levels in Achieve™ provide calves with more calories per meal and a readily available source of energy. This is critical for situations when additional energy reserves are needed for maintenance, without sacrificing lean growth development.

THE FAT & CALF STARTER MYTH

There’s a commonly preconceived idea that if calves are fed a higher fat diet, calf starter consumption will decrease and a post weaning growth lag will occur.

Calves trialed at the Grober Young Animal Development Center had no significant difference with grain intake when fed Achieve™ vs a standard Grober milk replacer.
